An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The Empress thought she had brought her child Shisan back from the Taihang Mountains without anyone noticing, but little did she know that there is no airtight wall in this world. The Emperor actually came to see her in person, saying that she was Concubine Kang who had not been seen for a long time and was the closest to the Queen's palace. The empress went to the emperor to complain, saying that there was a child crying in the queen's palace, which made her sleep uneasy. The emperor sent Su Peisheng to inquire about the situation and asked if Princess Wen Yi was not feeling well and was making noise at night. The queen can't take care of her, and the child cries every day. It's better to let Cao Guiren take it back and raise it first.

Su Pei spread the word of the emperor, and Cao Guiren happily took Princess Wen Yi back to his palace. He thought that Concubine Kang would be able to have a good sleep from then on, but unexpectedly, the child cried again in the middle of the night. Concubine Kang couldn't bear it and complained to the emperor again. The emperor took Su Peisheng to the Queen's Jingren Palace in person to see what was going on.

The queen could not stop the emperor and did not dare to stop him. It is said that the emperor was stunned the moment he saw the child and did not say anything for a long time. Su Peisheng was too frightened to raise his head.

The emperor asked where this child came from and why he looked so much like Concubine Hua. The queen then said that he picked it up from a temple in Taihang Mountain. In the final analysis, it was all thanks to Xia Ruchun, who had practiced cultivation for less than a year. , discovered that there was still a child raised in the temple, and she reported the situation to the palace. If the emperor had time, he would not hesitate to go to Taihang Mountain to find out the origin of the child.

The emperor didn't say anything at that time. He just called the imperial physician Zhang Mi and performed a blood test. To his surprise, the child was not even remotely related to the emperor. Her origins had not yet been found out. The emperor Suddenly he became furious and asked Su Peisheng to take the child away and carry him to Yangxin Hall. Without exception, he told An Lingrong to go to Yangxin Hall to check the child's health and asked An Lingrong. An Lingrong did not dare to conceal what he saw and heard when he went to the Taihang Mountains, and said half-consolingly: "Your Majesty, please relax. The Hua family has been slaughtered, so where did the baby come from in the Taihang Mountains? This must be just a coincidence, and The concubine has already asked the abbot in the temple. The abbot said that this child was abandoned at the gate of the temple because someone gave birth to it and did not want to raise it. There are thousands of people in the world, and there are many people who look alike. Concubine Hua is the foundation. His body is already broken, so how can he be her child?”

The emperor nodded and said: "Well, Libin, you hit the point. What I want to find out now is whether this is Concubine Hua's child? Whose child is it? The reason why the queen brought the child into the palace is... I want to arouse my suspicion. How can such a young child cry all the time in the middle of the night, whether he is cold or hungry, and he is not sick? I couldn’t stand listening anymore, so I told me again and again, reminding me to deal with this matter, this can’t be Concubine Hua’s child, absolutely impossible!”

An Lingrong suddenly had an unrealistic idea. Could this be another frame-up accident?

But unexpectedly, the emperor sent people to investigate the Taihang Mountains. The abbot of the temple, the monk Sankong, changed his tune and said that because the incident had spread, the child in the temple was sent to the Forbidden City and would definitely be a child in the future. Since this incident spread, there has been an endless stream of people coming to identify their children. Among them was a very young woman who looked exactly like Shi Sanfen and said that she was Shi San’s biological mother. , but because life was difficult, he had no choice but to abandon the child at the gate of the temple.

Monk Sankong handed over the person to someone from the palace. This incident caused an uproar in the palace. An Lingrong, like the concubines, could not restrain his curiosity and went to watch secretly. When he saw that person When I met the young woman of eighteen or nineteen, I couldn't help being surprised. She indeed looked very similar to Concubine Hua. What happened next was even more dramatic. The emperor announced that the woman had gone to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart that night.

An Lingrong gently knocked on the door of Tangli Palace, and Liu Zhu welcomed her in. Zhen Huan was trying to make the thousand-layer cake that An Lingrong taught her last time. As soon as the lid of the dining room was opened, steam was rising. As the fragrance wafted out, An Lingrong was a little surprised and said: "Hey, sister Wan, you succeeded in doing it this time! Sister is so smart. No matter what she learns, she can master it as soon as she learns it. I think I learned to do it in the first place." When I made this pastry, I made it three or three times before it looked like this. Let me try one piece first."

Zhen Huan pinched a piece and gave it to An Lingrong to eat. It was glutinous and soft, sweet and delicious. After being praised, An Lingrong couldn't help but ask about the newcomer in the palace: "Sister Wan, what do you think of this newcomer announced by the emperor yesterday?" What's going on?"

Zhen Huan thought: "There is something strange about this matter. If you think about it, this child will not come out sooner or later, but he appeared when Xia Ruchun went to Taihang Mountain. What's more, inexplicably, he looks like Concubine Hua. It’s so similar. I’ve already gone to the Yangxin Hall to see the child. It’s so similar. Maybe this was a trick to lure the enemy. If the queen had let the child go in person, she would then find a similar-looking woman. , the queen first used the child to attract the emperor's attention, and it was through Xia Ruchun's hand, Xia Ruchun is also on good terms with us, in the eyes of others, the queen and Xia Ruchun are not colluding, which increases the authenticity of this matter. "

An Lingrong smacked her lips: "The reason for this matter is unclear, but it seems to be a risky thing, and it is not unprofitable. At least what is in front of me is that the emperor has announced that she will be sleeping with him. I don't know what will happen tomorrow morning. There won't be any new news coming out, making her a permanent member, or a noble person or something."

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan chatted over fragrant tea and cakes. They thought that the emperor would promote the woman from Taihang Mountain the next day. Little did they know that the next day, the emperor actually assigned the woman to the queen's palace and gave it to the queen. When the palace maid used it, the child was also rewarded to the queen's palace. It was said that this matter had been found out. The woman's name was Mi'er. She was an ordinary folk girl, just because she looked like Concubine Hua. , so the emperor fortunately summoned her because she had been married before and her husband died the day she gave birth to a daughter. Therefore, she was a widow and was not suitable to be named a concubine. She served the queen as a palace maid. When did the emperor want to If you have her, you can visit her.

Xia Ruchun was also summoned back from Taihang Mountain by the queen because of her merit in recommending it to the queen. The queen proposed to the emperor that Xia Ruchun's daughter should be brought back to her and she should take care of it. It eliminates a lot of resentment.

Xia Ruchun learned the lesson from the previous incident, but she still couldn't help but talk to An Lingrong privately, saying that the emperor didn't know what was going on. She originally thought that the emperor, who looked like Concubine Hua, would investigate the Nian family's affairs, but why did he come out halfway? A strange woman came to confess. It is not impossible for this blood recognition to be obstructed. I don’t know if there is a true blood relationship between Mi’er and Shi San. The final target of the attack is probably the target. It was not enough for the emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards, but he even spared a widow.
